The General AltiMAX RT45 215/60R17 is an all-season tire, designed for sedan, coupe, and crossover drivers who prioritize balanced performance and long-term value in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on versatile traction across wet, dry, and light snow conditions while maintaining comfort and durability.
The tire features a symmetric tread pattern with robust interlocking tread blocks for stable handling and four circumferential grooves that evacuate water for hydroplaning resistance. Lateral voids, shoulder slots, and sipes create additional biting edges for improved traction in slippery conditions. Notable technologies include Visual Alignment Indicators (VAI) that wear evenly to show proper alignment and a Replacement Tire Monitor (RTM) to help drivers track tread wear. Driver feedback points to reliable wet and dry grip, comfortable ride quality, and solid treadwear characteristics in daily use.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for sedans, coupes, and crossovers used primarily for daily commuting and family transportation in varied weather conditions.
